German Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere speaks to media following anti-terror raids this morning

Meanwhile, authorities today arrested a man linked to an asylum seeker suspected to be planning an attack on a Bundesliga football match.

He was arrested in the western city of Dinslaken, though it is believed to be a separate operation to today’s raids.

Ralf Jaeger, North Rhine-Westphalia’s state interior minister, said the arrest stemmed from investigations following the asylum-seeker’s detention, and the man is suspected of involvement in crimes in Syria.
